At its annual General Assembly, the European Federation of Academies of Sciences and Humanities ALLEA (All European Academies) presented the Madame de Staël Prize to physicist Viola Priesemann. The award was announced in December 2024.
Viola Priesemann, who has been a member of 'Die Junge Akademie' since 2021 and is a member of the current Board, is being honoured with the prize for her scientific achievements in the field of physics, her leadership qualities and her strong commitment to European cooperation in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic. “Her work reflects the very values embodied in the Prize – of promoting science as a global public good, facilitating scientific collaboration across borders and disciplines, and strengthening the impact of science in society,” said Paweł Rowiński, President of ALLEA and chair of the Madame de Staël Prize Jury.
About the award winner
Viola Priesemann is professor of Physics at Georg-August University and group leader at the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organisation in Göttingen. Her research focuses on living and artificial neural networks, working out the fundamental mechanisms of selforganisation, learning and efficient coding. At 'Die Junge Akademie', Viola Priesemann is committed to the topic of science communication, among other things, and in this context was largely responsible for the publication of a guide on science communication in autumn 2024.
About the prize

The prize was established in 2014. Nominations are open to ALLEA member academies, of which 'Die Junge Akademie' has been a member since June 2020.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
